Q — Do you know what’s more patriotic than dissent?
A — Joining the military.

It’s about time to start unapolagetically questioning some people’s patriotism. I’ll start with a big blanket: the Hollywood Limo-Liberals.
See here for more people that I have indicted.
Got something you want to say?

There seems to be some conflation between being ‘patriotic’ and slavishly doing what the current administration wants, which is to invade another country that was no particular threat that is sitting on huge oil and natural reserves, and allowing for a pipeline to gain access to further reserves in the Caspian Sea area to be built. So, outright piracy, in other words. (Check the history of Unocal in Afghanistan.) Is it patriotic when you’re doing the ethically wrong thing?
Perhaps they are exercising their democratic right to do what they think is right, i.e. not get involved. Perhaps it’s better for the country if a lot of people who think that way exercise their democratic right to vote a better administration in which does not conduct wars of neocolonial aggression in order to obtain natural resources for the enrichment of an energy junta at the top, while creating even greater terrorist threats in the process, probably for decades to come. Perhaps they think the better way of obtaining selfsame resources is through a process of fair trade and exchange of value. Perhaps they’re the true patriots after all.
